John 3:26-30 And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, He who was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore witness, behold, He baptizes, and all come to Him!

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, He who was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore witness, behold, He baptizes, and all come to Him! ²⁷ And John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it is given to him from Heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves bear witness to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before Him. ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom who stands and hears him rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Then my joy is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease.
